When do you start to buy new born stuff?

Do check around with ur close friends see if they don't need anything and want to pass u, if you don't mind. If not, after you buy already and they don't need and want to pass u, like wasted to buy extra. My cousin pass me a big baby cot, have been using it till now going to 3 years. Save a lot of money from different things too. I will start looking out at baby fair for sales, so can save a lot, as the price during this time is better than normal days price. So i will shop bit by bit for all the things.
